'DOOREHANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 621,155, dated March14, 1899.

Application filed November 26, 1898. Serial No. 697,531. (No modeli) Toall whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J AOKSON DAVIS Sonoo- LER, of Sedalia, in the countyof Pettis and State of Missouri, have invented a new and ImprovedDoor-Hanger, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The invention relates to sliding doors, principally such as used onfreight-cars, barns,

dwellings, &c.; and the object is to provide cate corresponding parts inall the views.

Figure 1 is a partial side elevation of the improvement, with parts insection. Fig. 2 is an enlarged transverse section of the same on theline 2 2 in Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a face view of the washer for theeyebolt.

'The door A is provided on its upper end with hangers B, journaled attheir extreme up per ends on balls 0, mounted to travel in alongitudinally-extending tube D, formed with a split D at its bottom forthe passage of the hangers B. The ends of the tube D are closed by capsE, and said tube is supported on eyebolts F, secured on a fixed part ofthe doorframe G, as is plainly indicated in Fig. 2, each bolt having itseye F split at the bottom, said split being in alinement with the splitD to insure a free travel of the hangers B past the eyebolts F.

Each eye Fis opened at F at that part attached to the shank F so thatthe openedup portion extends in a horizontal plane through the axis ofthe shank, as will be readily understood by reference to Fig. 2. Theopened-up portions of the eyes are inclined at their outer faces toengage the beveled faces of a washer H, through which the bolt passesand is held in a fixed part of the doorframe.

Now it is evident that when the nut F on the eyebolt F is screwed upthen the eye is drawn into the washer, and said washer H closes the twoportions of the eye at the split F which causes the eye to firmly clampthe tube D, so as to hold the latter securely in place and prevent thetube from turning or sliding in the eyes of the bolts F. Thus it will beseen that by the simple means de scribed the tube D is always held inproper position and the balls C are free to travel in said tube Dwithout danger of binding therein or of the hangers B being bound in thesplit ends of the tube.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent 1. A door-hanger comprising a split tube, ballsmounted to travel in said tube, hangers supporting the door andjournaled on said balls and extending through the split in the tube,eyebolts having open eyes and split.

shanks for engaging and supporting the tube, the openings in theeyebolts being in alinement with the split in the tube, and washers forsaid eyebolts adapted to close the splits in the shanks of saideyebolts, and clamp the eyes thereof upon the tube and hold the latterclamped against movement, substantially as shown and described.

2. A door-hanger, provided with an eyebolt having a shank, and an openeye, the portion of the eye connected with the shank being split in aplane passing through the axis of the shank and the opening in the eyebeing transverse to the direction of the slit, substantially as shownand described.
